was found q pocket book containing
receipts for making explosives, en-
tries and receipts for money amount
ing to $3.50. A razor of American
make was found on the towpath. The
names and addresses of several per-
sons IN New York were found in another
pocket. The body was identified as
that OF William Rogers, an engine fit
ter and resident OF Birmingham. The
New York address found in the diary
is that OF q relative OF Rogers. Ex-

to be the receipts Of a dynamiter.

Disastrous Tobacco Fire at Louisville
Two Acres of Buildings in Ashes.

Two Acres of Buildings in Ashes.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, June 25-The most
destructive fire that has occurred here
in years broke out in the tobacco quarter
at :35 o'clock this morning. The entire
square between Iain and Market and
Ninth and Tenth Streets, WIS the scene
OF the conhagration and two acres of
buildings with their contents were lost.
The loss IS estimated at fully half mill
ion dollars, and the insurance can
not be obtained for weeks. The
papers of the various firms are in the
safes which are mixed up with the
debris. These viii have to be recovered
and the 5000 hogsheads Of tobacco de-
stroyed checked up before the accurate
figures are known. The box from which
the alarm was turned in was defective
and as result the flames were almost
beyond control when the engines ar
rived. The fire WAS incendiary, it is
thought. II broke out in the middle OF
the block at the rear end of the Boone
warehouse, on Market Street. There
were no lights or fire of any kind from
which the flames could have started.
The flames spread with fearful rapid
ty. The Banner tobacco house and the
Sawyer, Wallace * Co. warehouse, both
fronting on Main Street, soon caught
fire and were quickly enveloped in
flames. The three warehouses men
toned occupied nearly the whole square,
all were closely packed with hogsheads
of tobacco. The Sawyer Wallace x Co.
house is q branch of the big new York
firm. The tremen could do very little
against the great odds. The heat was
intense, and the inhammable material
was entirely too far beyond control. All
that could be done was TO save the ad-
jacent residences and business blocks.
a vast crowd of people quickly assem-
bled on the scene. The families living
IN the square ON Market Street were
greatly frightened. They excitedly re
moved their household effects onto the
pavements and into the streets, fearing
total wreck by fire. No lives were lost,
though several narrow escapes were
had. Sawyer, Wallace & Co.'S ware
house was owned by Henry Glover. 1t
was sOGdly built building with metal
roof the several departments compris-
ing an immense structure, and was val
ued at $4,000. It's partially insured.
In 1t were 2,+O hOgsheads of tobacco,
worth from $4,000 TO Sl25,OOO. The
stock WAS well insured. The Boone ware
house loss is 5000; partially insured.
The Banner warehouse was owned by
B. H. Parrish & Co., and was valued at
about s. 900. 1t contained about 500
hogsheads Of tobacco valued at $4,000.

Electric Light Men Plan to Reduce the

Cost of Car bons.
New YORK, June 23.-A meeting was
held In this city yesterday afternoon
which is Of direct importance to all
electric light interests. The electric
light industry, 50 far a. arc lights are
concerned, depends entirely upon car
bOHs. The market has been supplied by
two firms in Pittsburg, three or four in
Cleveland and two in St. Louis. These
companies two months ago formed a
combination, and the price Of carbOus
was suddenly and without warning rails
ed from so and Sl2 TO $40 and S25. 1t
Is known that only one raw material was
good for much IN making electric
light carbOls. This is the
coke from petroleum and naphtha
manufacturing. Consequently the pc
troleum coke product was seen TO be the
key to the situation. The electric light
men now propose TO take the entire
petroleum cake product Of the Standard
Oil Company and manufacture carb0ns
for themselves on the basis of the old
rates. A committee was appointed To-
confer with the standard OIL Company.
and the campsny's figure for its entire
coke product, 10000 tons per year, was
-et At + per ton. The electric light
syndicate considered the offer and will
